Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day was wonderful!

Our menu was:

Turkey

gravy

Stuffing,

pecan pie

rutabegas (and this ended my responsibility)

Mac and cheese

green bean casserole

cranberry bread pudding

biscuits

candied sweet potatoes

black-eyed peas

2 pumpkin pies, (one with and one without added sugar)

corn casserole (C's homework found out this was the favorite)

Mashed potatoes with and without horseradish

deviled eggs

eggnog (also known as "snowman juice")

I was going to take pictures of the food, but the turkey took an extra hour to cook and we couldn't wait to dig in. I cannot seem to get that right. This year it was an hour late, last year was an hour early, and the year before that it was late too... and the gravy was lumpy. But P summed it up best:

It may not be perfect, but it is Awesome!

Here is the cook "C" and DD1 modeling her new hat:

Thank you J & C for the most relaxing Thanksgiving day I have had in years. As I said last night C, you can come and cook any time you want to! You are one of the things I am thankful for.
